Welcome to our Initial Token Offering

Partners / Investors

We’re on a mission to bring energy bills down to 0. By combining deep learning AI with blockchain, we want to improve access to affordable, green energy through the Verv trading platform and empower consumers to safely and securely monetize their household energy data in order to offset electricity costs.

Verv IoT: Smart Home, Smart Trading

The AI-based smart hub, Verv, which can obtain a comprehensive and real-time overview of the electricity consumption of a home, forms the basis of our platform. By combining this with blockchain technology, our aim is to provide a secure and transparent ledger through which energy can be traded on a p2p basis and electrical data can be exchanged in a new-form marketplace which empowers the consumer.

Crucially, the specialised AI used in our Verv smart hub provides us with the opportunity to add a unique layer of intelligence to the energy trading process. With an ability to predict the supply and demand of energy of a home, our intention is to ensure trading is done at optimal times, securing the best prices.

Programmes

Reduced electricity costs

As electricity costs continue to rise, we want people with renewable energy sources to be able to sell excess power directly to their neighbours at an affordable cost. We intend to make this possible by using AI forecasts on consumption determined by the Verv hub to trade energy at optimised times.

Improved access to low carbon energy

The industry is seeing a significant increase in the uptake of microgeneration which can be attributed to more affordable pricing. Whilst the trading platform can incentivise consumers to invest in renewable technology, crucially, it provides those without the means to purchase the technology an opportunity to consume green energy at an affordable price directly from their peers.

Bringing rise to the energy prosumer

We believe the Energy industry should not be exempt from the prosumer-led economy. Empowering energy consumers to become prosumers by generating, storing and selling their own energy is very much at the core of our mission as we aim to make the current centralised framework more flexible.

Exchanging data for electricity

Having partnered with data sharing ecosystem, Ocean Protocol, our aim is to create a new-form marketplace whereby consumers can safely and securely monetize their electrical household data in the form of money off of their energy bills. Consumers will be empowered to sell their data to who they want, for as long as they want, should they choose to take part.

As Seen On

Existing Blockchain Integration

The Verv team are spearheading a number of exciting projects in the p2p energy trading space with the support from multiple government grants and are helping to inform UK regulatory board Ofgem around p2p regulation using the results from its pioneering projects.

The launch of a p2p energy trading community on social housing in the UK

In February 2018 we began implementing the UK’s first blockchain-based p2p energy trading community on social housing at Hackney’s Banister House Solar. The field-trial, delivered in collaboration with Repowering London, saw the UK's first p2p physical trade of energy take place in April 2018. The aim is to provide cheaper energy to the community's residents and in turn inform further roll-out across the UK and in turn Europe with a focus on social housing.

Proof of concept: national simulation of our p2p solution

Having begun collecting data in early 2017, we began to simulate the Verv p2p solution across the UK in October 2017 using this data. Supported by Innovate UK’s Energy Entrepreneur’s fund, the Verv p2p framework and its AI-based predictions around energy consumption have been developed. These predictions are also being designed to take into account AI prognosis around cloud cover and opacity, using satellite data to anticipate when renewable energy like solar PV will be maximised.

What is VLUX?

VLUX is a subsidiary of Green Running which operates under the trading name of Verv. VLUX is launching an Initial Token Offering (ITO) in order to create VLUX (VLX) tokens that will enable energy to be traded on the renewable energy trading platform that Verv has developed. By combining deep learning AI technology with blockchain, Verv’s peer-to-peer (p2p) energy trading platform aims to improve access to affordable, low carbon energy.

What is Verv?

Verv is the brand that Green Running has operated under following the development of the Verv home hub in 2015. The Verv home hub attaches to your electricity meter and uses specialised artificial intelligence technology to identify key appliances in your home by their unique energy signatures and tells you how much each one is costing you to use, in real-time. The longer you have Verv, the more advanced it becomes, using machine learning to learn about new appliances and their behaviours, unlocking more and more features such as alerts if you’ve left an appliance turned on for too long.

Is VLUX a utility token or a security token?

We have discussed this extensively with our lawyers and are happy to clarify that VLUX is a utility token, although this does not preclude the possibility of VLUX being considered to be something other than a utility token by any regulatory authority in any jurisdiction.

What problems do VLUX and the Verv Energy Trading Platform solve?

Currently, big energy firms control the majority of the market, and greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector represent ⅔ of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions from these sectors have risen over the past century to ever higher levels. In addition, energy bills in the UK for example are rising at the fastest rate since early 2014. Meanwhile, more and more individuals are buying their own energy generating units - like solar panels, that are capable of producing far more energy than they need as individuals.
The aim of the Verv Energy Trading Platform is to enable consumers to sell any excess energy they generate directly to their neighbours at an affordable cost and therefore allow consumers who produce their own green energy to transform into true ‘prosumers’, improving access to low carbon power and reducing transmission costs.
The Verv home hub, which can obtain a comprehensive and real-time overview of the electricity consumption of a home, forms the basis of the energy trading framework. Combined with blockchain technology, the aim is to provide a secure and transparent ledger through which prosumers can sell energy to their peers, not only resulting in revenue for themselves, but saving peers money on their bills, too.

How long will it take to process a transaction on the VTP?

It depends on the number of people assigned to each community blockchain.
Normally counterparties shouldl be able to complete a trade within 13 seconds.

What type of token is VLUX?

The VLUX token (VLX) is an ERC20 token. Please read through our full whitepaper to find out how the VLUX token will allow users to leverage high-speed sampling of electricity and AI to interact with the blockchain platform we’ve developed and create an efficient peer-to-peer energy trading framework.

What are VLUX tokens used for?

Our aim is to enable VLUX (VLX) token holders to become hosts on the Verv P2P energy trading platform we are developing, creating a community of prosumers and consumers able to trade with each other. VLUX tokens may also be given as rewards for developing Verv’s Energy Trading Platform capabilities and may be able to be redeemed for goods and services!

How can I participate in the VLUX token sale?

You can register for the pre-sale or whitelist here: vlux.io

Which cryptocurrencies are accepted during the token sale?

Ethereum (ETH).

Which wallets can be used to store VLUX?

ERC20 compatible wallets. Please note, when you participate in our sale, you are not able to do so directly from an exchange.

What are the ERC20 compatible wallets?

Metamask, Myetherwallet, Trezor, Ledger nano S and many more. Be careful to ensure that wherever you wish to store your tokens, you can contribute directly from.

How will the tokens be distributed during the token sale?

During the token sale event 70% of the total supply of VLUX tokens will be distributed to the public, 10% will be reserved
for distribution among the first 200,000 VHH units sold, and 20% of the tokens will be kept by the company. Of the 20% of
tokens kept by the company, 10% will be kept for the Verv float and original contributors, and 10% will be reserved for future
growth. All tokens sold will be locked and cannot be traded until the launch of the VTP, currently scheduled for end of 2018.

Where can I find the roadmap?

You can find the official roadmap here on our homepage: https://vlux.io.
More information will follow in our white paper.

Are you conducting AML/KYC?

Yes, as we are running the sale in a professional, ethical, and regulatory compliant fashion, we are requiring all contributors to go through AML/KYC. All pre-sale and whitelist contributors will have to go through this. The AML/KYC process for whitelist registrants will not occur until nearer the sale - for now, simply sign up and stay up to date!

Why do you require a KYC process?

We need to know who our customers are for AML (anti-money laundering laws). Moreover, we want to run a professional, ethical and regulatory compliant token issuance. We have no desire to circumnavigate rules or regulations - it only brings future risk to our participants.

Who can participate in the ITO Pre-sale?

Verv is still considering where the offer will be made and where it will not, based on the laws and regulations of different countries - please get in touch with us via the contact form if you are interested in participating. The ITO pre-sale will definitely not be offered in China, due to its laws and regulations relating to ITOs.

Who can participate in the ITO mainsale?

Individuals who are not located in a restricted jurisdiction, who are on the whitelist and who have passed the AML/KYC checks can participate in the ITO mainsale. Verv is still considering which jurisdictions will be restricted for the purpose of the ITO mainsale, but they are expected to be those where the ITO mainsale might constitute a violation of the relevant laws or regulations of that jurisdiction or would result in a requirement on VLUX to obtain any consent or comply with any formality which Verv regards as unduly onerous.

Is there any way to check if I am on the whitelist?

You will receive an email from VLUX to confirm that you have successfully registered for the whitelist.

How do I submit my KYC documentation?

Initially, sign up to the whitelist. At the appropriate time we will request further information and documents from you.

What is the hardcap on the token sale?

The hardcap on the token sale is £25 million.

What is the hardcap on the pre-sale?

The hardcap on the pre-sale is £17.5 million.

How will the token sale funds be used?

You can find out more in our whitepaper and on our website homepage but in brief, the funds raised in the ITO will go to research and development of the Verv energy trading platform, continued development of the technology, customer education and anything we can do to reduce consumer energy bills.

How can I keep up to date with the project?

What is the date of the public token sale?

We are aiming for Q2 2019

Is there a minimum contribution to participate in the public token sale?

There is a very small minimum contribution of 0.1. In practice, very small amounts are unwise due to transaction fees.

Can I change my ETH address after whitelist registration?

We would simply recommend that you re-register to the whitelist with your new wallet address. AML and KYC will be required in the coming weeks, and every unique individual will only be allowed to contribute from a single wallet address.

Can I submit to the whitelist multiple times?

Whilst you are able to submit to the whitelist multiple times, as we will be running AML/KYC, we will be able to identify unique individuals, and will only be allowing individuals to contribute once in the main sale. This is about ensuring the widest, fairest distribution of tokens in the main sale.

When was VLUX founded?

Green Running, the parent company of VLUX, was founded in 2010 with the initial focus of reducing energy consumption within the commercial market. When Peter Davies, CEO & Founder, realised the potential to make homes smarter and more efficient in the domestic space, he developed the Verv home hub and then in July 2017 a patent was filed for Verv’s blockchain-based p2p energy trading system. We forecast energy to be physically traded between peers for the first time in the UK using Blockchain via the Verv energy trading platform (VTP).

Why was VLUX created as a subsidiary of Green Running (Verv)?

As VLUX has a different business purpose to Green Running (Verv), it made more sense for it to be a separate legal entity.

How are VLUX, Verv, and Green Running related?

VLUX is a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Running, which now operates under the trading name of Verv since the development of the Verv home hub and energy trading platform. We are proud to be introducing the VLUX token to all of you!

Do you have a bounty campaign?

No, we aren’t running a bounty campaign alongside our ITO.
